Lyme Disease Is A Growing Concern In Sask.

Lyme Disease is a growing concern in Saskatchewan according to at least one advocacy group. Despite the provincial health ministry saying there is just one Lyme Disease case in the last nine years, the Lyme Disease Board of Saskatchewan says many people have been misdiagnosed, then correctly diagnosed elsewhere. President Triant Steuart says this seems to be an issue not many people want to talk about. This comes after some provinces in Canada that have started warnings residents that if they get bitten by a tick, they should automatically get tested for Lyme Disease because rates are so high.
